The document is in my field Civil Engineering - particular to Water and Energy. Words I cannot find in dictionary or other context:
TRAFO DESMULTIPLICADOR ACOMETIDA "CAMARA DE VALVULAS" POLIPASTOS DEPOSITOS (Would this be a Warehouse? Like a depository? Or is it a PLANT (like a water distribution plant, water refining plant)'

If the word was dispositivo rather than depositos, I would go with the water treatment plant.

The first items sounds like a step-down (or ac to dc, etc.) transformer connection and the other like a valve chamber with a hoist for removing the valves for replacement/repair.
